Who is the ebay seller and do you know if he has more Ive searched on ebay and I cant find a complete set with inners only outers
The seller is K2Motor. He shipped out pretty quick too. I think I might of gotten lucky though because I don't see any 4 piece tails on ebay at all anymore. He sells them on his website for $598 http://www.k2motor.com/lexus28.html. Pretty far from what I paid, but still less than what some other people here have paid for a full set of 4.
One question: Does this set of lights trip the "Rear Light Out" light on the dash?
Yes, the inners will set off the light. The outers will not. I tested each separately and those were my results. The outer ones have load resistors to draw more power so the car thinks the normal bulb is in (that cures the bulb out indicator). However, that defeats one of the big selling point of LED's which is to use less power and generate less heat! The inner set does not have the load resistors simply because there is no room in there to mount the bulky piece. So in short, the outers will not set it off but the inners will. Either way it's not a problem for me because I've removed the indicator bulb from my dash

Heh, thanks. I thought you guys would like a nice writeup of these ebay units. Good thing for my they're the same exact pieces as the JP/wise tails
As for the License plate LED's. Those are 194 5-LED wedge bulbs. It's pretty common and easy to find on ebay. Just do a search for "194 LED" and you should have plenty to choose from.
These LED tailights are now on the mods list for me cuz they do look nice. I have to admit that one night I was behind a motorcoach bus with it's LED blinker on. I guess it was a combination of the brightness and the flashing that made look away from the back of the bus. It made feel somewhat dizzy; it was the weirdest thing. But I still want them though.
Yap I thought it was just my lasic surgery but the other day I was following my wife and I was watching the LED blinker and stop light on our bimmer and finally she made a right turn and I did make a left to drop off the kids to school. Minutes later, I can still see a streak of LED lights on my windshield as if they were heads up display.
I've been searching Ebay. Damn it Jeff..... You are lucky! I will probably wait around for 6 months or so for the price to come down again. These lights will be ALL over Ebay in the future so the price is bound to come down.... even on inners and outers.
